Psalms 78:60-72

60He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

61and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe.

62He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage.

63Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no marriage song.

64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine.

66And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame.

67He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.

69He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded forever.

70He chose David his servant and took him from the sheepfolds;

71from following the nursing ewes he brought him to shepherd Jacob his people, Israel his inheritance.

72With upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with his skillful hand.
